we heard from jake sullivan that they don't believe it meets the criteria.pening there, have you seen enough to say that it is genocide? >> it's not clear to me it meets that threshold. what is clear, these are war crimes. and also, as the national security adviser pointed out, these are not simply the acts of undisciplined, unprofessional troops. troops like that tend to steal things. even worse, they do things like rape. these were mass executions of civilians. this looks to me like something was clearly ordered and organized. the only policy question for us right now is whether we ought to be talking about it the way we are, as much as we are. don't get me wrong. again, these are war crimes but that's the sort of thing we can and should pursue once this war is over. right now, i would argue the focus ought to be figuring out how to end this war before any more ukrainians lose their lives, before any more of that country is destroyed. and i'm not sure this conversation necessarily gets us closer to that goal. >> so let's talk about sanctions then. the pres

we go now to national security advisor jake sullivan.rning to you, jake. >> good morning, margaret. > brennan: vladimir putin reportedly tapped a new central war commander for ukraine, the same general who oversaw a very brutal campaign in syria, where they bombed hospitals and killed civilians. is this the signal that this is the type of scorched earth warfare we need to expect? >> margaret, i think it is consistent with the way russia has conducted this war from the beginning. we've seen scorched earth warfare and mass killings, horrifying and shocking images from towns like bucha, and the rocket attack. so think this is an indication we will see more of that. >> brennan: vladimir putin's spokesperson said a few days ago that russia has suffered significant losses of troops. but you say russia still has forces it can use to outnumber ukraine. do you assess that ukraine can win more than just the capital of kyiv? >> well, first, let's pause there for a moment because it is a remarkable thing that the ukrainians won the battle of kyiv. r

jake sullivan now out at the white house and addressing reporters. let's listen to this. >> as the president said, we will work with the world to ensure there's full accountability for these crimes. we're also working intensively with our european allies on further sanctions to raise the pressure and raise the cost on putin and on russia. today i'd like to take a step back and talk about where we are and where we think we're going. russia wants its invasion of ukraine more than a month ago. when russia started this war, its initial ames were to seize the capitol of kyiv, replace the zelensky government and take control if much if not all of the ukraine. russia believed that they could accomplish this swiftly and efficiently. russia did not account for the strength of the ukrainian military and the ukrainian people or the amount or effectiveness of military assistance provided by the united states and its allies and partners. the ukrainian people backed by the united states and other nations have held firm. kyiv and other cities still stand. the ukrai

now, sullivan is a busy man. he was also subpoenaed as part of robert mueller's investigation into russian interference in the 2016 election. but today, he is coming to focus as part of the investigation into part of the insurrection itself. according to a new report in the new york times, sullivan was plotting the storming of the capital back in december 2020, and we know that because there is recording of him doing precisely that. >> it's got to be a multiple front strategy. and that multiple front strategy i think is descend on the capitol. without question. make those people feel it inside, okay? so they understand the people are breathing down their necks. and we had it. and we've got to be perfectly clear about it. now, i'm not inciting violence or any kind of riots or anything like that. but we need to be loud. it needs to be like jericho, okay? >> you can kind of see what he is doing there. he calls for people to descend on the capitol, expressing to intimidate lawmakers. so the idea is that their presenc

jake sullivan has just taken the white house podium. we want to listen in. >> we had already concluded that russia committed war crimes in ukraine and the evidence from bucha shows further evidence of war crimes. as the president said, we will work with the world to ensure there is full accountability for these crimes. we are also working intensively with our european allies on further sanctions to raise the pressure and raise the cost on putin and on russia. today i'd like to take a step back and talk about where we are and where we think we are going. russia wants its invasion of ukraine more than a month ago. when russia started this war, its initial aims were to seize the capital of kyiv, replace the zelenskyy government, and take control of much, if not all of ukraine. russia believed that it could accomplish these objectives swiftly and efficiently. but russia did not account for the strength of the ukrainian military and the ukrainian people or the amount or effectiveness of military assistance provided by the united states and i

well, he has an aide of his own named jason sullivan.t turns out that person made a plea to maga allies to directly descend on the capitol in a group planning call. and this was days before the riot. you may remember one of the chief defenses around trump was this was something that spun out of control. this story crossed the wires on what has been a busy news day in skren. "the new york times" reporting sullivan assured the people on this call that the election was stolen and they would have to quote, descend on the capitol, make their presence felt. intimidate members of congress. that's using violence to get a political end and the times very interestingly has obtained a direct recording of this long secret call. >> he is going to do something and it's going to be to where people are actually going to be arrested. he may very well call it an insurrection act, but i foresee a limited form of martial law and i don't see any other way around it. biden will never be in that white house. that's my promise to each and every one of you. >> t

but jake sullivan wouldn't say it. labeling doesn't matter. why stop short of calling this genocide? the administration has been forthright in calling what we're seeing war crimes, calling putin a war criminal. >> he's clearly a war criminal. that new general is clearly a war criminal. in my view, it is genocide. president putin has said many times, he's written as well as said, that ukraine doesn't exist. he is taking action to do that, to make ukraine not exist, to wipe ukraine off the map. that, pamela, is genocide. now there may be implications of that designation but, nonetheless, we should just call it what it is. president putin doesn't think ukraine is a real nation, doesn't think it has sovereignty, that it should exist, and he's taking action to make that real, and that's genocide. >> so you think the administration should be calling it genocide then? >> i think it is genocide. and that's what is clear. we should act in response to that. >> and how so? >> we have to ramp up even further the support we are giving to the ukrainians, th

senator sullivan: good morning, everybody. and it is an honor to be at this ceremony here in the united states capitol honoring a great alaska and and great american representative don young, the congressman for you'll alaska for almost 50 years and i would like to begin by thanking the speaker of the house, leader mccarthy, all very good friends of don's his fellow representatives and the senators here this morning and don's beloved family, ann, don, joni and many grandchildren, we offer our heartfelt condolences. my wife julie and i were shocked and devastated by don's sudden passing. his spirit tenacious, rug he had, a man of the people epitomized our state to such a agree that there was a sense he would always be with us, that he would live forever. and he was such a fixture in the house, remember, he was here when every member who currently serves arrived that i imagine all of you feel the same. it is also because don young was so authentic. in an age of overcoat politicians, he was a throwback, a throwback to a time and

i'll talk to dmytro duh -- kuleba and security adviser jake sullivan. >> in my family it took one piece of determination to go from segregation to the supreme court. >> there is incredible character and integrity she possesses. >> this is pretty bad already. >> i'll talk to someone who predicted inflation was coming and now says a recession is likely next year. former treasury secretary larry summers. join me for inside analysis, anna palmer, former republican congressman carlos curbelo, kimberly atkins stohr, and josh lederman. welcome to sunday. it's "meet the press." >> from nbc news in washington, the longest running show in television history, this is "meet the press" with chuck todd. >> good morning. it's difficult to put into words the russian cruelty. on friday at the train station where russians bombed civilians who were simply trying to flee the war from ukraine's east was a missile fragment with a letter reading "for the children." is that a signal from the russians? it's not clear. what is clear is that some 50 people were killed, civilians trying to flee the war. ukraine's

now earlier in the week, sullivan said that the u.s. would be constantly evaluating the situation, seeing what is happening on the ground there. he also said there is not necessarily a mechanical formula for determining genocide has occurred. he pointed to that lengthy review that was conducted that eventually determines that genocide was under way in berma. this is something the white house could eventually change their minds on and make that determination, but there has been some pressure from the international community, specifically zelenskyy, who has outright called it a genocide himself. >> and some other countries as well. arlette, thank you for that report. so with russian forces retreating now from regions around kyiv, we're actually getting new insight into the atrocities that happened there. i do want to bring in volodymyr, a former ukrainian minister of infrastructure, now a soldier with the territorial defense force. tell me what you've seen, this evidence of war crimes. >> good afternoon, brianna. yes, last week i spent he

i think andrew sullivan was exactly right. the history of our country includes slavery, but it also includes well-meaning people of all different backgrounds coming together to eliminate that shame from our country and it happened a long time ago. and so, you know, laura, though some of the people who are watching this may be surprised to see this extreme example of race huxteris m and demogoguing white people but it's actually been the case in america in corporations for a long time now. we've seen american corporations starting in silicon valley and to the board rooms of new york and finance explicitly shame and degrade white people and white men specifically and then also asian, because they're overrepresented in the population of successful corporations, and so people have silently nodded and had to swallow this for a long time. that's why you see a whole audience of people clapping at an obviously absurd debate between four white people talking about racism in america. >> laura: this lisa bond character, part of the group

s. took. laurie debbie business reporter arthur sullivan joins me here in studio for more arthur put in there talking about directing energy elsewhere. where exactly is you referring to most likely and have we seen any effort so far to do just that now he mentioned stevens, the south and the east and roaches context that really means 2 countries, china and india, and really and truly rushes energy, alternative energy ambitions begin and end with china with i would say a more aspirational tales towards india. the reasons are obvious. those 2 countries together combine almost, you know, 2800000000 of the world people. they are 2 of the top 3 energy consumers in the world. their obvious markets, markets to target. however, in terms of what we've seen so far, we have seen india buying slightly more oil from russia since the invasion because they've been able to get it at a discount, a significant discount. it's still not, not much, relatively speaking, a lot less than europe uses, obviously. and in terms of china, we have seen, you know, rhetoric and talk of, of new deals mean, for examp

and by the way, sullivan's estimates seem to me very close to reality. i have a military unit.he political problemkina. he said that the world that emerged after the cold war, it's over. i want to continue this thesis a little, because this is really the way i agree with blinkin, he ended the whole question. how did it end? it seems to me that this world is much more dangerous than the world that was called the cold war. i will explain why. because the cold war. this is a war that was fought after all, according to certain rules, treaties were in effect. in the field of nuclear safety, for example, there were, however, international organizations whose decisions were respected. that's real today's two events hit the night the strike of our vks on the accumulation of these foreign mercenaries. once again we show the realities of the modern world. you came to participate in this war on the side of the nazis. we told you that it would be difficult for you. here you will receive our evidence in the form of our high-precision strikes and another reality of the modern world. this is

ronnie 0'sullivan hasjust breathing room. ronnie 0'sullivan has just plotted a shot.this year. earlier, the 2019 winterjudd trump state in control of his match against mike williams. he extended his lead from last night, but williams not let trump have it all his own way. he made his 13th century of the tournament. the first to 17 will go through to the final. west ham have confirmed two people are been identified after an alleged attack on german commentators during their europa league semifinal in london last night against eintracht frankfurt. a german newspaper reported that tv commentators had their headsets ripped off and turn on the floor by a home fan. they were broadcasting from the back from the media section, which has supporters directly behind it. west ham say they passed information onto the police. the football writers' association have named the winners of their footballer of the year awards for this season. the men's winner is liverpool forward mohamed salah, who previously won it back in 2018. the egyptian is having a remarkable campaign — scoring 22

now for one of the chinese economy, i'm joined here in studio by my colleague arthur sullivan. arthur, let's start with the new figures. these export numbers seem to suggest that things are looking relatively good to what extent is actually the full extent of what's going on with the chinese economy. but you said it yourself, steven. it's an incomplete picture. so yes, the export figures are quite strong, although slightly a slight drop from the combined figures of john you're in february. but the really interesting figure here is the import figure. so we see an actual like dip compared to this time last year, no point one percent. and what part of that is an existing problem? there has been a slowing of domestic growth in china. partly contributed to by the fact that the chinese government is significantly trying to read read and it's read a stay at debt problem. we also do see a significant impact from, from the war and ukraine and also of course, the shanghai or disruption. so in terms of warren, you can, we can see if we look at, if we drill into those important figures, we see a

the national security adviser jake sullivan said this afternoon that more u.s.lion in security assistance since the start of biden administration, why hasn't that been enough in your view? >> hi, jake. first i think the biden administration has done a very nice job rallying an international coalition, imposing crippling sanctions. i think they could do more in the sanctions respectful declassifying, warning ukrainians this was coming for months before the invasion occurred and providing billions and getting weapons into the hands of ukrainians. that they've been able to fight and survive the last month and actually win in many cases is because they have the weapons and the equipment we provided. but war evolves. and without more, without more quicker, they'll continue to be up against a wall. so what we saw in bucha, they're fighting brutal war criminals here. the russians will continue to throw tanks and soldiers at the problem. so we're coming together to show the world, to tell the administration that congress stands united for more and faster aid. >> and con

you just heard my conversation with national security adviser jake sullivan.ied with what you heard? what might you be doing differently? >> thanks for having me. no, i wasn't satisfied with what i heard. i think it's crucially important that the united states be clear that we are absolutely committed to zelenskyy's victory. we should not be talking about, as jake sullivan did just now, improving zelenskyy's position at the negotiating table. this is about defeating russian forces in ukraine. it's about much more than ukraine. we've got to be moving much faster, much more quickly, recognizing that the ukrainians now, given what they've been able to do and how long they've been able to fight and what they've been able to inflict upon the russian forces, they need advanced weaponry. we need to be thinking about providing them with tanks, with artillery, with armored vehicles. we need to be doing much more and more quickly. there should be no question that this is about getting to a negotiation or pressuring zelenskyy to negotiate. this is about defeating russian

it will be businesses, arthur sullivan, in studio. thank you very much. well, arthur, mention those recent purchases of russian gas by, i'm sorry, russian oil, i should say by india actions that have cause friction with western g 7 nations leading the sanctions against moscow. a delhi has thus far stuck a stroke, a very defiant tone against warnings from the u. s. for example, but how sustainable is its position? india has maintained close relations with russia for decades. the asian countries, not just a key customer for russian consumer goods, but weapons are also high up on the list of imports, especially at craft tanks and frigates, 60 percent off in the us arms and ports come from russia. india hasn't sanctioned russia over the war and ukraine, quite the opposite. at the end of march, new delhi seized the opportunity to buy a russian oil edit deep discount and is considering further orders to spite calls from the us not to do so. if you're looking at energy purchase from russia, i would suggest that your attention should be focused on europe. i suspe

yes, i'm surprised that now anthony blenkin has appeared that jake sullivan did not zigzag at the endare all maxims, because it is very similar to what hitler and his companions said in the thirties with precisely such words precisely in relation to the corresponding country of the soviet union, uh, usa in fact, having drawn the third reich into themselves, they are now turning into this very fourth reich, they are, in fact, producing nazism in a completely natural way for themselves, squeezing out the proxies that we are now with which we are now dealing with in ukraine and, squeezing out the igil, an organization banned in russia. al-qaeda and so on. that is, in principle, all these 30 years. we watched, uh, the fire that or nazism suffered by the united states of america, births in agony, births in agony. yes. eh, and uh. this is an illusion, a phantom illusion that america will take the lead. well, let it be glasaxon or there they are, as they say, the developed world of the civilized world of the civilized world, yes, and all other countries will bow before them. but we've been t

david sullivan, if i understand correctly, many of the nuclear weapons we've been talking about in the 1900 ninety's, we're actually soviet weapons and the ukrainians had access to them. but the russians, at least in the early days, had the codes for them. do you think that it ukraine was wise to give up that nuclear power and did it actually have much of a nuclear power to begin with? well, i think that's a good point. grove. i, indeed, they were so weapons. they were based in new grain and ukraine had physical access to them. but i also understand that there were some limits to their ability actually to, to use them or 22225 m. i also understand that meant a lot of it was already somewhat degraded and not in, not in very good shape. so my personal view, i mean, i perfectly understand why you brain feels extremely g, particularly from the guarantees that were given of their territorial sovereignty in return for letting the weapons go back to, to, to, to russia. but honestly, i, i, i don't think it was, it was viable for a relatively small country in the middle of europe at to be nucle

joining us now, security adviser jake sullivan. jake, thank you for joining us. at least 50 civilians were killed friday at that railroad station packed with evacuees trying to flee, trying to get here to where i am in lviv. they used a bn attack on a clusr of people. does that constitute war crimes? >> it absolutely constitutes war crimes. in fact, president biden was well out in front of most of the world in declaring that what russia was doing and what vladimir putin was authorizing here were war crimes. we have seen the target, the murder of people, the depravity. that's why we are working so hard, not just on long-term accountability, but in the short term, russupplies to ukraine an liberate themselves from the russian brutality. >> in addition to slaughtering in bucha, we're seeing entire neighborhoods wiped off the face of the earth. the united nations defines genocide as, quote, any of the following acts intended to destroy in whole or in part a national, ethical or religious group including, quote, killing members of the group, end quote, causing serious

that is how jake sullivan described what we can expect. he said the u.s. and allies are coordinating closely on what exact sanctions could look like and looking to flush it out as they've done for months. we know really that this will be aimed at targeting elements of the russian economy that are still popping up and tulg this war in a lot of parts. now jake sullivan on monday told reporters, he described the long-term view he is taking when it comes to these sanctions. take a listen. >> we don't expect that that shift in behavior will be caused by sanctions overnight or in a week. it will take time to grind down the elements of power, to hit the sources of revenue that have dealt with this. this will take time to play out. >> reporter: something that could have a more immediate effect could be the weapon try the u.s. is sending to ukraine. they could second lasers and drones to the $300 million security package that the pentagon announced on friday. all of this comes after president biden returns to d.c. on monday. he called putin a war criminal from all
